So, basically me and my team are planning to create python flask app, and we wanted to know whether the app is required to be licensed or it can be distributed as we wish?
i am not sure if i am able to convey exactly what i mean, but hopefully this help you understand what i am trying to ask, if not please let me know, and i will try to clarify my question.

we have created the required python script, that will eventually be converted to a flask app, but the thing is we dont know if its freely distributeable or it needs to be licensed or follow a particular license requirements.

  2. The flask project is under the BSD-3-Clause license (BSD-new).

    This version allows unlimited redistribution for any purpose as long as its copyright notices and the license’s disclaimers of warranty are maintained. The license also contains a clause restricting use of the names of contributors for endorsement of a derived work without specific permission.
